1 “Ingilosi yebandla lase-Efesu ilobele uthi: La ngamazwi akhe lowo ophethe izinkanyezi eziyisikhombisa esandleni sakhe sokunene ehamba phakathi kwezinti zezibane zegolide eziyisikhombisa.
—Sonika kuidi mbasi yi dibundu di Efeso: “Tala mantuba mutu wowo simbidi tsambudi di zimbuetete mu koko kuandi ku lubakala ayi wundiatila va khatitsika tsambudi di bima biobi beti tetika minda, bima biobi biba bi nolo:
2 Ngiyazazi izenzo zakho lokusebenza kwakho nzima kanye lokubekezela kwakho. Ngiyakwazi ukuthi awungeke ubabekezelele abantu abaxhwalileyo lokuthi ubahlolile labo abathi bangabapostoli, kodwa bengayisibo, njalo wabafumana bengabalamanga.
Nzebi mavanga maku ayi ziphasi ziaku mu kisalu ayi mvibudulu aku. Ayi nzebi ti wulendi kanga ko ntima bu wulembo talanga batu bambimbi ayi ngeyo wutota batu beti tuba ti badi bamvuala vayi basi bamvuala ko, ayi, ngeyo wuba mona badi bankua luvunu.
3 Ubekezele waqinisela ebunzimeni ngenxa yebizo lami, kawaze wadinwa.
Mvibudulu widi yaku, wukanga ntima mu ziphasi mu diambu di dizina diama ayi wusia vonga ko.
4 Kodwa ngilale insolo ngawe: Usuludelile uthando lwakho obulalo kuqala.
Vayi diambu ndibeki diawu diadi: ngeyo wulozidi luzolo luaku lutheti.
5 Khumbula isiqongo owe kuso! Phenduka wenze izinto owawuzenza kuqala. Nxa ungaphenduki, ngizakuza kuwe, ngisuse uluthi lwakho lwesibane endaweni yalo.
Bika wutebuka moyo vovo wubuididi; balula mavanga ayi vanga mavanga matheti. Bila enati buawu ko, buna ndiela kuiza kuidi ngeyo ayi ndiela botula kima kioki beti tetika muindꞌaku va buangu kiandi enati wukadi balula mavanga.
6 Kodwa ulalokhu okuhle ngawe: Uyayizonda imikhuba yamaNikholayitha, engiyizondayo lami.
Tala diambu dimosi di mboti didi yaku: wunlendanga mavanga ma Banikolayite; minu mamvama ndieti kumalenda.
7 Lowo olendlebe, akezwe okutshiwo nguMoya emabandleni. Lowo onqobayo ngizamnika ilungelo lokudla esihlahleni sokuphila esisepharadise kaNkulunkulu.”
Bika, woso widi matu, kawa mantuba pheve kuidi mabundu. Kuidi woso wela nunga, ndiela kumvana minsua mu dia mimbutu mi nti wu luzingu widi mu Paladisu di Nzambi.”
8 “Ingilosi yebandla laseSimina ilobele uthi: La ngamazwi akhe yena oyisiQalo lesiPhetho, owafayo wabuya wavuka.
—Sonika kuidi mbasi yi dibundu di Similini: “Tala mambu mantuba mutu wowo widi wutheti ayi wutsuka, mutu wowo wufua ayi widi moyo:
9 Ngiyazazi inhlupheko zakho kanye lobuyanga bakho, kanti-ke unothile! Ngiyakwazi ukuhlambaza kwalabo abathi bangamaJuda bengayisiwo, kodwa beyisinagogu kaSathane.
Nzebi ziphasi ziaku ayi sukama kuaku. Muaki widi nkua kimvuama ayi nzebi bifingu bi batu bobo beti tuba ti badi Bayuda vayi basi Bayuda ko. Bawu badi nzo yi lukutukunu yi Satana.
10 Ungazesabi inhlupheko esezizakwehlela. Ngiyakutshela ukuthi uSathane uzabeka abanye benu entolongweni ukuba alilinge njalo lizahlukuluzwa okwensuku ezilitshumi. Thembeka, lanxa kuselungeni lokufa, mina ngizakupha umqhele wokuphila.
Kadi mona tsisi mu ziphasi zikuvingila. Tala satana weka kuiza lozi bankaka mu beno mu nloko muingi balutota. Ayi luela mona ziphasi mu tezo ki dikumi di bilumbu. Kala wukuikama nate ku lufua, buna ndiela kuvana budu ki luzingu.
11 Lowo olendlebe, akezwe okutshiwo nguMoya emabandleni. Lowo onqobayo kasoze alinyazwe lakancane yikufa kwesibili.”
Bika, woso widi matu, kawa mantuba Pheve kuidi mabundu. Woso wela nunga kalendi mona phasi ko mu lufua lunzole.”
12 “Ingilosi yebandla lasePhegamami ilobele uthi: La ngamazwi akhe lowo ophethe insingo.
—Sonika kuidi mbasi yi dibundu di Pelingami: “Tala mambu mantuba mutu wowo simbidi sabala kisekoso bumboti, iidi meno mu zindambu zizole:
13 Ngiyakwazi lapho ohlala khona, lapho uSathane alesihlalo sakhe. Ikanti wena uqhubeke uqotho ebizweni lami. Kawukuphikanga ukukholwa kwakho kimi, lasezinsukwini zika-Antiphasi, ufakazi wami othembekileyo, owabulawayo edolobheni lakini, lapho uSathane ahlala khona.
Nzebi kuevi weta vuanda; nzebi ti kuawu kuidi kundu ki Satana ayi ngeyo simbididi ngolo dizina diama ayi wusia tunuka ko minu kiama mu bilumbu bi Antipasi, mbangi ama yi kuikama, yivondo kuidi beno; koko kumvuandanga satana.
14 Kodwa-ke, kulezinto ezimbalwa engilensolo ngazo kuwe: Kulabantu khonapho ababambelele emfundisweni kaBhalamu, owafundisa uBhalaki ukuhugela abako-Israyeli ekwenzeni isono ngokudla ukudla okwakunikelwe ezithombeni kanye langokuxhwala kobufebe.
Vayi mambu mafioti ndibeki: ngeyo widi ayi batu basimbididi malongi ma Balami, mutu wulonga Balaki mu leka ntambu va ntuala bana ba Iseli. Wuzola ti badia bima bitambuku kuidi bitumba ayi bakiyekula mu kitsuza.
15 Njalo ulabanye ababambelele emfundisweni yamaNikholayitha.
Buna ngeyo widi diaka ayi batu bobo bansimbidila malongi ma Banikolayite.
16 Ngakho-ke, phenduka! Hlezi ngize kuwe ngilwe labo ngenkemba yomlomo wami.
Diawu balula mavanga; bila enati buawu ko, buna ndieka kuiza nsualu kuidi ngeyo ayi ndiela kuba nuanisina mu sabala ki munuꞌama.
17 Lowo olendlebe, akezwe okutshiwo nguMoya emabandleni. Lowo onqobayo, ngizamupha enye yemana efihliweyo. Ngizamupha lelitshe elimhlophe okulotshwe kulo ibizo elitsha, elaziwa ngulowo kuphela olamukelayo.”
Bika, woso widi matu, kawa mantuba pheve kuidi mabundu. Kuidi woso wela nunga, ndiela kumvana mana yisueko ayi ndielakumvana ditadi diphembi. Mu ditadi beni musonama dizina dimona dikambulu zaba kadi mutu wumosi botula kaka mutu wowo wuntambula diawu.”
18 “Ingilosi yebandla laseThiyathira ilobele uthi: La ngamazwi eNdodana kaNkulunkulu, emehlo ayo anjengomlilo ovuthayo lezinyawo zayo zinjengethusi elikhazimulayo.
—Sonika kuidi mbasi yi dibundu di Tiatila: “Tala mambu mantuba Muana Nzambi, widi meso madi banga minlaki mi mbazu, malu madedikini banga sengo kibuakusu ku mbazu:
19 Ngiyayazi imisebenzi yakho, uthando lokholo lwakho, kanye lokuthi khathesi ususenza okunengi kulakuqala.
Nzebi mavanga maku ayi luzolo luaku, minu kiaku kisalu kiaku, mvibuduluꞌaku ayi mavanga maku matsuka maviokidi momo matheti.
20 Kodwa-ke, ngilale insolo ngawe: Uyambekezelela owesifazane lowana uJezebheli, ozibiza ngokuthi ngumphrofethikazi. Ngemfundiso yakhe udukisela izinceku zami ekuxhwaleni kobufebe lekudleni ukudla okunikelwe ezithombeni.
Vayi diambu ndibeki: wulembo talanga kuaku nketo wowo Zezabeli, nketo wowo weti tuba ti niandi widi mbikudi wu nketo; niandi weti longa ayi weti zimbisa bisadi biama bu keti kuba vukumuna mu vanganga kitsuza ayi mu dia bima bitambuku kuidi bitumba.
21 Ngimnike isikhathi ukuba aphenduke ekuxhwaleni kwakhe, kodwa kafuni.
Ndimbikila thangu muingi kabalula mavanga vayi mengi balula mavanga mandi ma kitsuza kiandi.
22 Ngakho ngizamphosela phezu kombheda wokuhlupheka, njalo labo afeba labo ngizabenza bahlupheke kakhulu, ngaphandle kokuba baphenduke ezindleleni zakhe.
Tala, ndieka kunloza va mfulu yi ziphasi va kimosi ayi batu bobo bamvanganga yandi kitsuza enati bakadi balula mavanga.
23 Abantwabakhe ngizabatshaya bafe. Ngakho-ke, amabandla wonke azakwazi ukuthi mina nginguye ohlola inhliziyo lezingqondo njalo ngizavuza omunye lomunye wenu ngemisebenzi yenu.
Ndiela vonda bana bandi ayi mabundu moso mela zaba ti minu ndimfionguninanga mayindu ayi mintima. Ndiela kuluvana, mfutu kadika mutu, boso buididi mavanga mandi.
24 Manje-ke, ngithi kwabanye benu eThiyathira, kini elingabambelelanga emfundisweni yakhe njalo lingafundanga okuthiwa zimfihlo ezizikileyo zikaSathane, ‘Kangiyikulethesa omunye umthwalo,
Vayi kuidi beno basi Tiatila bankaka, beno lusia landakana ko malongi mandi ayi beno lusia zaba maphinda ma satana ko, ndikulukamba ti ndikadi ku lubuela bizitu binkaka.
25 lina bambelelani kuphela kulokho elilakho ngize ngifike.’
Vayi diambu diodi didi yeno, lusimbidila diawu nate ndiela kuiza.
26 Lowo onqobayo esenza intando yami kuze kube sekupheleni ngizamnika amandla phezu kwezizwe,
Kuidi woso wela nunga ayi woso wela keba mavanga mama nate kuna tsukulu, ndiela kumvana kipfumu mu yadila makanda.

ndiela kumvana mbuetete yi nsuka.
29 Lowo olendlebe, akezwe okutshiwo nguMoya emabandleni.”
Bika woso widi matu kawa mambu mantuba pheve kuidi mabundu.”
